Tennessee lawmakers are deliberating a bill that would define male and female in state law based on a person’s biological sex at birth.
The proposed law would require government-issued IDs to “accurately reflect” the sex marker of a person’s original birth certificate.
Tennessee Senate Bill 1440 would create a new subsection in the state’s legal code to clearly define a person’s “immutable” biological sex determined by anatomy and genetics at the time of birth.
The bill also proposes to amend a section of the state’s legal code relating to the education system to align the definition with the proposed new subsection.
The bill is sponsored by Republican state Sen. Kerry Roberts and passed the Tennessee Senate in a vote along party lines on Monday. The measure will now go to the GOP-controlled state House.
